"Thank You"

I'D LIKE TO TAKE A FEW MOMENTS TO THANK EVERYONE THAT READS MY JOURNAL....AND THOSE THAT SEND ME E-MAILS AND COMMENTS....THERE ARE THOSE OF YOU WHO READ MY JOURNAL ON A REGULAR BASIS......(like POOKIE, SUGAR, and BARB),  AND SOME WHO STOP BY OCCASIONALLY.  THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONTINUAL SUPPORT AND "GOOD THOUGHTS."  MANY HAVE ASKED ME FOR SOME ADVICE, ABOUT JUST HOW TO HANDLE THIS SITUATION OF HAVING A LOVED ONE IN PRISON....I AM NOT AN EXPERT ON THE SUBJECT, BY FAR AND LARGE, BUT I HAVE TRIED TO SHARE MY THOUGHTS WITH YOU, TO HOPEFULLY MAKE THIS TRYING TIME IN YOUR LIFE A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO HANDLE....EASIER TO LIVE THROUGH......

I'D LIKE TO SAY   "THANK YOU," TO SHERMEEN, WHO WROTE A COMMENT TODAY....SHERMEEN LIVES IN LONDON, AND IS A COLLEGE STUDENT.  I ENJOYED HER JOURNAL CALLED , "PUBLIC THOUGHTS, " AND I HOPE YOU VISIT IT , TOO.  IT PUT A LITTLE SUNSHINE IN MY DAY, AND MADE LIFE SEEM BRIGHTER!  I ALSO FOUND IT INTERESTING TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE IN LONDON!......I HAVE VISITED ENGLAND 3 TIMES IN MY LIFE, AND I ALWAYS SIMPLY LOVE IT!

WELL, JIMMY IS NOW WORKING, AND WE ARE SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT!...HE ENJOYS HIS JOB, AND WORKS THE NIGHT SHIFT, WHICH IS FINE, AS I WORKED NIGHTS MOST OF MY LIFE, SO HE IS USED TO THE 'NIGHT ROUTINE," ALONG WITH ME!.............HE IS ALSO LEARNING SO MANY THINGS ON THIS JOB....AND THAT IS MY HUSBAND FOR YOU....A MAN WHO LOVES TO LEARN, AND KEEPS LEARNING.........

I'LL SAY "GOOD-NIGHT,' AS I HAVE WRITING TO DO....I HAVE SO MANY STORIES LINED UP IN MY HEAD, YOU JUST WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT!...........AND WHEN THEY ARE THERE, I MUST GET THEM OUT ON PAPER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE...OTHERWISE I CAN'T REST...........SUCH IS A WRITERS LIFE, I GUESS!!!!!!!!

LOVE, AND GOOD-NITE...............FRAN  , THE WIFE OF A CRIMINAL
